Does it help withthe shoulder blade at all? If not do you have a shoulder brace that can help with the shoulder & the shoulder blade?

I didn't feel any support for the shoulder blade, it was mainly for the upper arm i guess but even then it was too uncomfortable to wear.

Sounds like what you really need are scapular stabilization exercises - try the book Bulletproof Your Shoulder.

It is a generally excellent product for what it need, but I have no information about effect on a shoulder blade problem.

It's very protective in keeping the shoulder stabilized and is a visual sign for those approaching to use caution.The support does an excellent job in securing the shoulder, but remain alert. There are people who ignore all the signs and plunged found right into the top of the shoulder brace.

As I use this device for posture support and do not have an injury I can put in on by myself. I adjust the tightness with it off first then I raise both hands over my head and slide it down so it is loosely on top of my shoulders. I then pull one shoulder back at a time to get it in position. Someone with an injury, such as a clavicle fracture which is what this device is designed for, would need assistance to get it in place.

Yes it does. You have to push on the back of the blade, from there the knife does the work.

I have shoulder length and works for me. I love it and I can tell when I forget to use it. Trying it is worth a shot!

If you shoulder is unstable like mine was, i'd say no. But if your shoulder is subjet to an injury i'd say yes if this support important to your movement.

No, Pillows always worked best for me. I have had both shoulders repaired, this would be too high for my shoulder.

nope. This brace is a game changer. I used it while playing hockey never an issue

Yes it does, but not so comfortably. I walked with it (as a test) on another shoulder for a few hours - it was almost ok. But i prefer use designed shoulder.

For me, it gives support--without all the sweating that the other sleeves create. I play basketball with it-- I have arthritis, no longer have knee injury, so can't say that it would relieve pain from that. When I started wearing it, I was recovering from injury, and it seemed to help. I wear it now, for support. It is not a brace---

I've found that it's good for impacts, I bought mine for protection from bokken strikes and it's great for that. It could probably save you from a few slashes but it would get shredded. Stabing could be problematic, the seems between the pads are tough but I think a fixed blade or a double edged blade would penetrate it. To be clear I have only taken blunt object strikes in mine. The only body armor I KNOW will stop blades is chainmail and Dragonscale.

I think it does. I was having an issue with my shoulder, bought this shirt and I had less to no pain while I wore it vs. not wearing it. I don't know if it was just a coincidence but I think it may have worked.

No, it does not reach that high. It goes to about the shoulder blades, and I'm not tall!

I actually did just try it on my right shoulder and it does work as well in side out. I'm having a second shoulder surgery on my right shoulder, but probably not for a solid year due to the fact that my Scapula has a grade 3 detachment and. There is a hills sachs deformity in my shoulder Already that can't be fixed along with. Screws and achors and wires. I'm a bit worried. I wish you the best of luck. If you are not happy with your physical therapist finds one you are happy with. That is key.... and but this product. Sorry, for the lengthy answer.

I bought it specifically for my shoulder. It is very flexible and wraps around the shoulder. With the velcro flexible straps, it can be secured in place and stays there very well. I love it!!

No...it is a spring assist blade. The user must apply some pressure on the actuator to initiate the opeing of the blade

I had rotator cuff surgery in Jan. '13. When I was able to start rehabbing, my assistant recommended I start out slowly with the Bodyblade. She said it would work the smaller muscles and tendons I had re-attached. It was a bit uncoordinated at first. I still use it today as my main workout. It's a miracle exerciser and today I can almost do everything I could do before my accident. I'd highly recommend it to any age.

No. Walking is about the best exercise for this. I guess you could walk while doing the body blade. It will help increase upper body strength though.
